About The Prodigy

Everyone loves the club scene. The dancing and wild beats can always cut into your soul, and in 1990 one particular group embodied that soul to a tee -- they were called Prodigy. With the savage style of frontman Keith Flint hailing from the U.K., Prodigy took the industrial music world by storm when the debut album was released by XL Records in 1991.

The notable tracks on that album were 'Firestarter' and 'Breathe.' This was a band, though, that didn't stop raking in some heavy hits -- following up with other albums and yet two other controversial singles 'Smack My Bitch Up' and 'Funky Shit.' Powerful stuff, and definitely worth dancing to.

In addition, the electronic music was powerful with the ambient down tempoes and rave hardcore sounds mixed in. Rave-whistle effects were pretty common with Prodigy, and it hit a major note with the dance crowds.
